World War Two was a man's war. Perhaps if women had been in charge there would have no war at all. Any way....But women did play a significant role
during the war. The war production factories in America and Britain had
largely women working in them. In Russia too women manned factories
which churned out tanks, guns and warplanes with which Stalin's army
fought the Germans. Also Russian women played a big part in the conflict
zones not only as nurses but also as soldiers. Especially in
Stalingrad.Below is a photo album which shows women in WW2....

Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the Russian woman sniper with 500 Germans kills under her belt.

LYUDMILA PAVLICHENKO

Lyudmila Pavlichenko sniped a confirmed 309 Axis soldiers, including 36
German snipers, during WWII.
While most of the world shied away from putting women on the front line,
the Soviet Union did not, including recruiting about 2000 women as
snipers during WWII, one of which turned out to be one of the most
successful snipers in history, Lyudmila Pavlichenko. She still holds
the record for the highest confirmed kill total of any female sniper in
history.http://www.todayifoundout.com/i

Leni
Riefenstahl, the German film maker whose "Triumph of Will" became the
chief propaganda tool for the Nazis. The Economist wrote that "Triumph
of the Will "sealed her reputation as the greatest female filmmaker of
the 20th century"

LENI RIEFENSTAHL

Reni Liefenstahl (August 22, 1902 – September 8, 2003) was a German film
director, actress and dancer widely noted for her aesthetics and
innovations as a filmmaker. Her most famous film was Triumph of the Will,
a documentary film made at the 1934 congress in Nuremberg of the Nazi
Party. Riefenstahl’s prominence in the Third Reich, along with her
personal association with Adolf Hitler, destroyed her film career
following Germany's defeat in World War II, after which she was arrested
but released without any charges.

With Hitler facing a soldier shortfall, women were conscripted. Here German women train in the Luftwaffe. November 1944.
